    • DEF LEPPARD – Rock of Ages (1983) Of course it’s number one, what else? While 1987’s Hysteria would ultimately become Def Lep’s biggest selling album, Pyromania is the one that broke them into worldwide superstardom, largely because of this song.
    • GUNS N’ ROSES – Welcome To The Jungle (1987) First song on the first studio album from the greatest glam/flash metal band of all time, ever. Glam metal had already existed for years before it, but none of it even mattered until this song was unleashed.
    • QUIET RIOT – Metal Health (1983) If you were not there at the time, it is impossible to adequately explain the impact this song had on pop culture in 1983.
    • POISON – Nothin’ But a Good Time (1988) Nothin’ But a Good Time was the first single from Poison’s second watershed album, 1988’s Open Up and Say Ahh.

    • Lord Tracy, ‘Deaf Gods Of Babylon’ (1989) From Tennessee among other locations, and fronted by a fellow named Terry Blaze who'd previously fronted Pantera when they were still a glam band, Lord Tracy were as refreshingly idiosyncratic as sleaze-metallers named after a porn star go.
    • Mr. Big,’ Lean Into It’ (1991) Fresh from his collaboration with Steve Vai in the David Lee Roth band, bassist Billy Sheehan teamed up with another terrifyingly fleet-fingered guitarist, Paul Gilbert of L.A.
    • Precious Metal, ‘Right Here Right Now’ (1985) Maybe these five California girls from all over wouldn't count if they didn't have "metal" in their name — but, hey, a major label (Mercury) put their album out even if nobody bought it.
    • Lita Ford, ‘Lita’ (1988) The post-Runaways success story most told after Joan Jett's is the polar opposite of the "I Love Rock & Roll" singer's stripped-down punky pop.
